Metric Gages

Go/No Go Ball Gages

Our Custom Precision Gage Balls are an excellent way to check bore diameters. Because of the line contact
you can detect if the hole is barrel shape (large in the center), bellmouth
(small in the center), or tapered.

Balls can be inserted into holes quickly
because there are no alignment problems.

Ball Plug gages (guages)- We commonly attach
a stem to a ball for use as a plug gage. Two plug gages can be mounted in
a standard AGD handle to make a Go/No Go Ball Gage. The Ball Plug Gages
can be manufactured to X, XX, or XXX tolerances. The Ball plug gages can be
modified with a flat to measure blind holes or otherwise modified to meet
your unique application.
